We Need More Behind The Scenes Videos Like This One Of The Panthers Refusing All The Vikings Awful Offers To Trade Up On Draft Night

I'm always fascinated by trades and war rooms. I want, no, no, I need to sit in on a war room. I want to see how fast these trade talks happen, what sort of counter offers are tossed out. How do these guys all deal with each other, etc. We get a little view of that with the Panthers just laughing off the Vikings shitty offers to move up and likely draft Justin Fields. 

The back to back 'no' and 'nope' when getting offers is fucking hilarious. Pretty clear Carolina knew a market and wanted a first round pick back. Speaking of trades that landed a first round pick. 

But back to the video, the whole thing is fascinating. The lying, the one-upping, the making fun of each other and then deciding this one deal is the one we're going with. I need to be a part of that one time. Let me be on the horn with someone trying to negotiate a deal to move up a couple of spots. Think this video also shows that the Panthers have some sort of game theory guy or plan with the Draft. Telling them not to come back with negative points shows they assign points to spots or players and decide based on that. 

Think this really just shows the Vikings need to be in front of cameras at all times on draft night. Remember last year when they mocked the Eagles with Justin Jefferson? 

Part of me wonders why the Panthers released this video though. Sure, Jaycee Horn probably knew they were trying to trade and you still got the pick, but that can't be the best feeling right? Did they do it just to show their fans like hey we tried to trade down and nothing was there? I really hope they did it just to rub some salt in the wound of Vikings fans for no reason whatsoever. Either way I want more videos like this.
